- No, I'm--

- Waterman Hughes.

- Yes?

- Bonjour.

Whit!

Thanks for your help.

So, what brings you

down here, man?

A little, uh, high-level

security analysis...

in retail operation?

Huh?

What can I do for you?

I'm just on my way to the gym.

- I got a spin class.

- Huh?

Spinning?

You know, spinning, bicycles?

Oh, OK.

No, I was thinking more

along the lines of a pint.

A pint? Oh, a pint.

Uh, wow.

Um, I'd love a pint, actually...

but, uh, I really gotta hit

this class.

I'm in training, you know?

You wanna come along?

Uh, it's an amazing workout.

I-- I'd love to, but I don't

have any gear, so--

Well, I'll lend you some.

Great.

Three, two, one!

We're climbing!

Rhythm is up!

Push! Push! Push! Push!

Keep it up!

No cheating! Let's go!

How you doin' there?

You all right?

What'd you say?

Out of the saddle!

We're climbing!

OK,

let's make it really hard!

So, what did you wanna

talk to me about, man?

Ow!

Jake said you had some tickets

to the, uh...

to the hobbit musical.

Yeah, a friend of mine's

an investor in the show.

He totally hooked me up.

Can you believe that?

Hmm...um...

I was just thinking, um...

you know,

you don't really wanna sit...

through a whole sort of

three-hour kind of show, do you?

- So...

- Well, the thing is...

Oh.

Jake's really kind of got

his heart set on this, you know?

Yeah.

- Powder?

- I'm fine.

You sure? Refreshing.

I would imagine it is.

I was just-- I'm thinkin' maybe,

you know, if you like...

then I could maybe take Jake

and Libby for you, you know...

if--if you want.

Look, I know you must be

kind of angry at yourself...

for messing up with the tickets

the other night...

and, uh, I'd like to help you.

I really would, but, um...

Well, the thing is...

I hope to be more and more

a part of Jake's life, you know?

And, uh, frankly, I'm kind

of looking forward to this show.

Give Jake and l, a chance to get

to know each other better.

I mean, uh, you can see

my point, can't you?

Yes, I can.

So, can I ask you a question?

Sure.

You had her once,

why did you ever let her go?

To be honest, Whit--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'd just

be careful on the stairs here.

Your legs

might be a little rubbery.

I'm fine.

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm fine. I'm--

Yeah, the first step

is often the, uh...

the difficult one.

This is Libby.

Leave me a message.

Hey, Lib, it's me.

Can you give me a ring?

F***!

Who the hell are you?

Just open the bloody door.

OK.

- There you go. Enjoy.

- Thank you.

- Forty-eight.

- Yes.

Hello.

Dennis, I'm really busy.

Can we talk?

No, just buy something or go.

OK. I, can I have one of your

signature cupcakes, please?
